First, the Soul Bone.
Although Su Yun felt that his luck was pretty good today, he didn't dare hope he might draw a Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone.
As for one under ten thousand years old, even if he got it, he wouldn't dare absorb it. This thing wasn't equipment; once absorbed, taking it back out would be a real pain.
Forget it.
Su Yun shifted his gaze downward.
[Beginner Soul Tool]
It looked pretty good. There were all kinds of them, with attacks, defenses, and special functions—everything one could want. Even the ones used to store items would be useful, after all, the system backpack could only store things produced by the system.
Still, Soul Tools were ultimately external objects. Compared to those, Su Yun would much rather improve his own strength.
That left only [Beginner Soul Skill Gacha] and [Beginner Self-Created Soul Skill Gacha].
Without almost any hesitation, Su Yun chose the latter.
As for the former, never mind whether the Spirit Skill he drew would suit his Martial Soul. Even if it did, and was of very high quality, he still couldn't absorb it. Otherwise, how would he explain it?
He opened the [Beginner Self-Created Soul Skill Gacha] interface.
The familiar slot machine appeared. Su Yun instinctively took a look at the good stuff it might offer.
[Self-Created Soul Skill: Eight Inner Gates...]
The moment he saw the first one, Su Yun couldn't help trembling all over with excitement.
Damn, with his Superman Physique and Night Guy, one kick would be so satisfying for the enemy that Su Yun couldn't even imagine it.
Further down were [Self-Created Soul Skill: Pegasus Meteor Fist, Self-Created Soul Skill: Kamehameha, Self-Created Soul Skill: Conqueror's Haki...]
Each skill made Su Yun's heart pound.
I'm not greedy!
Any one of them will do!
Wiping away the nonexistent drool at the corner of his mouth, Su Yun immediately clicked to draw.
As 100 Friendship Points were deducted, the slot machine began to spin.
In just a moment, a white orb appeared.
[Self-Created Soul Skill: Shave
Description: One of the "Six Powers." By stomping the ground dozens of times in rapid succession within an instant, the user generates explosive reaction force and moves at high speed. From an enemy's perspective, it looks almost like teleportation.]
Looking at his freshly drawn Shave, Su Yun was still delighted, even though it was only a white skill.
Once mastered, it would not only quickly boost his combat strength; more importantly, as his Superman Physique improved, his Shave would only become more and more absurd.
At least it wasn't Moonwalk. Once he could fly, that would be completely useless.
Looking at the [Self-Created Soul Skill: Shave Training Scroll] in his system backpack, Su Yun didn't rush to start training. He eagerly began his second draw.
Another 100 Friendship Points were deducted.
The slot machine spun again, and soon another white orb dropped out.
[Self-Created Soul Skill: Konoha Style Body Technique
Description: Includes Leaf Shadow Dance, Konoha Whirlwind, Konoha Gale, Konoha Great Whirlwind, Konoha Strong Gale...]
It looked like a whole lot, but really, they were just a bunch of ordinary moves.
Take Leaf Shadow Dance, for example: an upward kick to the opponent's chin, sending them flying, followed by another attack in midair. Konoha Whirlwind, on the other hand, was a spinning high kick, while Konoha Gale was a spinning low kick.
It would indeed improve his fighting ability, but only the hand-to-hand combat strength of his Superman Physique.
How was he supposed to use moves like these while holding two [Shadow Scythes], each as tall as he was?
Su Yun was helpless, but what was done was done. There was no point regretting it now; he might as well learn them properly.
But before that, he would try out his Martial Soul.
He looked around and saw that no one else was there. Su Yun gave a low shout.
"Martial Soul Possession!"
This time, elegant, mysterious purple light didn't appear around Su Yun's right hand. Instead, white light radiated from his entire body.
The white light lasted only a second. When it disappeared, Su Yun had changed drastically. His original ancient-style clothes had been replaced by Supergirl's signature blue bodysuit, with the family crest's "S" emblem on her chest. The red skirt, red boots, and red cape were all there too.
Startled, Su Yun quickly checked himself. Then he let out a long breath of relief.
Phew, at least he had safety shorts on.
Now completely reassured, Su Yun began to feel the power of Martial Soul Possession.
He could clearly sense that, with the Martial Soul Possession, his physique had improved significantly. It even gave Su Yun the illusion that he was invincible.
Su Yun knew this was an illusion caused by his body being unable to control the enormous increase in strength. He would need a long time to get used to it.
Of course, if Su Yun could awaken the notoriously overpowered "Bio-Kinetic Field" right now, he could adapt in a second.
Unfortunately, he couldn't awaken it.
He shook his head, pushing aside his other thoughts. Looking at the thick tree in front of him, Su Yun could hardly wait to give it a try. He threw a plain, unadorned punch.
The next second, the tree bark burst apart, and the tree shuddered violently.
"Crack, crack, crack..."
Leaves fluttered down as the tree began to tilt. At last, it crashed to the ground with a bang.
Su Yun raised his fist and looked at it. It was still fair and slender. Forget getting hurt—there wasn't even the slightest white mark on it.
"Gulp..."
Su Yun swallowed. His delight was plain to see. He knew the Superman Physique was powerful, but this was way too powerful!
That punch had been pure physical strength. If he added Soul Power, it would be even stronger.
It made Su Yun think of Saitama from One-Punch Man. If he kept absorbing sunlight to grow stronger, sooner or later, he could become like that too, right?
After a long while,
he dispelled the Martial Soul Possession. White light appeared again, and the clothes on Su Yun's body changed back. At the same time, it was as if all his strength had been drained away, leaving him back to normal.
This left Su Yun extremely dissatisfied.
But there was nothing he could do. That was simply how the rules of the Douluo World worked. Only while his Martial Soul was possessed could he receive the enhancement. When he didn't actively summon his Martial Soul, a Body Martial Soul holder was no different from an ordinary person and received no ongoing bonuses.
It was the same for Du Busi. Even with a top-tier Body Martial Soul that made his entire body his Martial Soul, his ability to control his body perfectly only manifested during Martial Soul Possession or when he circulated Soul Power.
Su Yun couldn't help muttering curses.
"No wonder they call it a fantasy-world sewer. This Martial Soul system is trash."
After calming down, Su Yun opened his right hand and began summoning the [Shadow Scythe].
As brilliant purple light surged, a [Shadow Scythe] a full two meters long appeared in his hand.
Su Yun began looking around for another target.
At the same time,
Tang San had also come outside the village. He spotted Su Yun from far away.
He was about to greet him when he saw Su Yun holding an enormous scythe in both hands—the very Martial Soul he had awakened not long ago.
Su Yun put all his strength into it and swung the scythe at a tree.
He was incredibly fast. A purple afterimage even trailed behind the blade.
As the blade met the trunk, it cut through the waist-thick tree as easily as slicing tofu. The tree crashed to the ground in two pieces.
Tang San stared blankly at Su Yun, standing there with the scythe in his hands. His expression was full of disbelief.
